It was easy to find this site, larger outfits would have to swing wide to get through the gate. It was a surprise to see the huge mobile phone mast but at least it ensured a very good phone signal. Hard standing pitches appreciated in the wet weather, EHU and... Show more

Great views, clean site, spacious pitches, slightly sloping crossways, owner very polite and welcoming, telecoms mast is close to first couple of pitches but doesn’t spoil views, didn’t use toilet or showers as they needed a good clean. Stayed three nights in august when storm Bertha was blowing a gale... Show more

Can't believe no other reviews mentioned the enormous telecomms tower at the entrance to the site. 2 of the 6 pitches are really very close to it, and all are within the usually-quoted 400m for safe habitation. I figured it wouldn't harm me for a few nights on... Show more

We originally booked five nights but ended up staying for twelve, right through the Christmas and New Year period. The site was ideal for us as we wanted to walk over north Dartmoor. Access is easy even for large outfits. During our stay there were never more... Show more

As per the previous review we can confirm there were 6 vans on site and to be fair to the owner he did inform me of this prior to arriving. The site has the potential to be a contender for CL of the year. However, it definitely needs some TLC... Show more

The views from this site are amazing and the site owner is a nice guy. We stayed here for 10 days recently (2021) - returning after last visiting 6 years ago. Sadly the site is not quite as it was, no bbq area (not that that bothered us) no cafe... Show more

We were warmly welcomed, and the site provided all we could ask in the way of facilities - I gather there were even loos and showers, although I didn't find them until we were leaving! But it was a delightful site, slightly "in the middle of nowhere" but not... Show more

Excellent, well run CL. The Hardstanding pitches have sufficient room for car, caravan and awning and I disagree with a previous review stating that pitches are too close. They aren't and we've been on enough to know. The pitches have water and electric points but you have to drain the... Show more
